I like to quote Douglas Adams in times like these.

Rule number one printed on the cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (and should be on the cover of every survival manual) is:

DON'T PANIC.


It's the first step to addressing everything else.

Hope Kris made it out ok and everyone else still in the area stay safe.

All,

I'm officially evac'd from the caymans and staying at a hotel here in Miami.

On a side note... anyone know of any camping supply stores in the Dadeland, Florida area? I tried looking online, but coming up with nothing. REI isn't even in Florida (did not know that until now!).

Any ideas?
Kris

We've made it to Corpus Christi, took on cargo, replenished, and are running north @ 6.0 mph. I relaxed to HurCon IV this morning & will assume HurCon V after I clear Galveston Bay eastbound, around midnight tonight.

Wishing everyone, Fair winds and following seas!!!

Enjoy Miami Kris!!!!! and good luck when you get home!!!

Thanks... Made it back yesterday afternoon.

Dean didn't get closer then 100 miles of Grand Cayman, so all we had were winds in the 50-70 mph range.

At least one washed out road, lots of rocks from the ocean floor on roads (now moved off), some storm surge and flooding in some areas, but we made out ok on this island.

How did everyone else make out?
